The First Nations Music Map

Musique Nomade uses a mobile recording studio to travel around the communities of the First Nations of Quebec to help develop and promote First Nations artists.

Nations et Communautés is a Google Map showcasing some of the music created by First Nation artists. The music of the different First Nation communities are indicated on the map by categorized map markers. You can learn more about each of the First Nation tribes represented on the map by selecting their name in the map legend (the information is in French).

If you want to listen to the music recorded by any of the First Nation communities, groups or individuals just select a marker on the map. The numbered markers indicate the number of recordings available at a location. Once you select a marker you can choose to listen to any of the available tracks.
